The presentation discusses the role of career services in student retention at community colleges. It outlines initiatives career services can implement to engage students, help them connect their academics to career goals, and ensure they understand the return on investment of their education. These initiatives include early career advising, mentoring programs, internships, and collaborating with other student services and faculty. The presentation also provides examples of how career services can evaluate the success of these initiatives in contributing to student retention, such as by tracking usage of services, internship outcomes, and surveying students.

Development and Implementation of Online Pre-Departure Orientations in Study ...NAFSA Tech MIG
Presented at the NAFSA Region III 2015 conference by Colin Large and Laura Semenow from the University of Tulsa.
As students become more active on college campuses, especially near the end of academic terms the traditional model of extensive in-person pre-departure orientations have come into direct conflict with student time constraints, as well as staff resources. At the same time, study abroad offices have seen an increase in the amount of information, both cultural and administrative, that needs to be communicated to students. This session will discuss the limitations of traditional pre-departure orientations and explore ways in which institutions can develop and implement online orientations. Finally, this session will outline limitations of online orientation programs and discuss potential solutions.
